Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Would someone remind me of what consequences the pilots flying those planes might have?

The new head of FEMA didn't know there was a hurricane season.

This is where we are right now 🤣 (sorry, gotta laugh!)

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Chris Judge’s “A Daily Cloud” project began in 2020, born from quiet days in the garden during lockdown. With simple lines and a touch of imagination, he turned everyday skies into playful scenes - one cloud at a time. [1/3] Credits: adailycloud [FB] #clouds #creative

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Sunday, April 13, 2025 Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes. Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

This is perfect.

The Internal Revenue Service has reached an agreement with immigration authorities to share tax information about some immigrants without legal status, marking a major change in how tax records can be used.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Very fun to explain the signal scandal to my 13 year old who truly understands the catastrophe of adding the wrong person to the group chat and absolutely fell out when I showed her the Mike Waltz emojis.

U.S. District Judge Boasberg has issued a 14-day injunction blocking Trump invocation of the Alien Enemies Act from taking effect and ordered planes already in the air carrying noncitizens under the proclamation to be turned around.

We're siding with Russia on the invasion of Ukraine. This is where we're at. We just lost anyone who is anyone in Europe...

I loved it in Pinocchio, but in real life... not so much. 👀 😱 #WhaleOfA-Tale

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

The last 2 weeks have been so surreal I now believe that David Lynch may have taken over for God.

Two days ago he said he wanted Americans he’d put in prison to be exiled to a foreign place for incarceration far from prying eyes. Today he’s ordered a new detention center in Guantanamo Bay—justifying it by saying it’s only for foreigners. But for how long? Wake up, America. It’s all happening.

all you people who told us to calm down can go fuck yourselves

What a fucking joke. Every guardrail is gone as the oligarchy bends to the will of the authoritarian.

Check out the Carter Center’s photo from the funeral this morning and who’s obscured. This photographer needs a raise. 🤣

It is important for all Americans to understand that Donald Trump has no intention of leaving office after taking it on January 20. None. Do I think he has a plan in mind already? Probably not. But is he taking his Oath of Office as a man who expects American democracy to continue? No, he is not.

This month, your rightwing uncle demands 1) Turn away refugees 2) Tax cuts for the richest 3) Be cruel to trans ppl 4) Defend the Confederate flag 5) More prisons 6) More executions 7) More guns 8) No healthcare for "illegals" 9) Hate anything "woke" 10) "Keep Christ in Christmas"

Full stop. It's what I've been saying. Listen people! @aaronparnas.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

If you haven't found @aaronparnas.bsky.social yet, GO FIND HIM. I've been following him since the early days of the Ukraine invasion and he is IT. He's got what we need.

I'm very proud to be a part of this incredible organization!

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

•Billionaires don’t pay into this economy. Their cash is overseas. •Corporations write our legislation when they pay our elected officials. •Our healthcare is attached to our employment. •Workers don’t make enough to live. •WE KEEP LETTING IT HAPPEN. #EndCitizensUnited

No man has done more to undermine our Democracy than Sen McConnell (R-KY) He took to the floor to complain that two federal judges said they weren’t going to resign because Trump won. Remember in 2020 he was actively seeking out judges to resign so the Trump could replace them. Oh the hypocrisy!!

De-colonize thanksgiving.

Republicans are about to break our government so recklessly and thoroughly that even if they allow another meaningful presidential vote to occur in 4 years and a Democrat overcomes their new election infrastructure to win, that Democrat will have to spend their entire presidency rebuilding America.

New Secretary of the Navy looks like a cookie cutter Mar a lago hanger on-er

Donald Trump is refusing to disclose who is funding his transition. He is the first president-elect not to sign an ethics agreement that sets fundraising limits and transparency.
